KINGS MATE
BY ROSITA TFORBES &ir
STORY FROM THE START
Rosemary Crofton {s visiting
the governor's palace in Fez,
Morocco, with her aunt, Lady
Tregarten, A Frenchman, De
Vries, makes love to her. He tells
her of the Kaid, a mysterious
person in the service of the
sultan. Rosemary repulses De
Vries’ love. Next morning, while
riding, she is thrown from her
horse and rendered unconscious.
She is rescued by Rliff tribes
men and meets the Kaid, who
turns out to be an Englishman.
The Kaid says it would jeopar
dize his cause to return her to
Fez. Pete, an Australian, and
Zarifa, a servant, are assigned to
care for her. She learns the
Kaid’s name is Westwyn. Mar
tengo, a Spaniard, is attracted
by her beauty. He subtly sets
about gaining her favor by pre
tending to help her to escape.
Westwyn offers to do anything
he can for her.
CHAPTER IV—Continued
—B—
— stared at him, hope wa
vering against her resentment. She
did not want to plead with this man,
but the words broke from her against
her will. “I can’t bear it. You'll have
to let me. go.” Westwyn was silent.
“You said you didn't understand what
it meant to me—" 4
The man interrupted. “I didn’t when
I sent you here. I do now.”
“And you won’t help me?”
Westwyn shook his head. “It’s im
possible,” he said, and Rosemary was
too angry to realize the weight of re
gret in his voice. “I'm off to Abd-el
Erias oot TH Colmes” S SSETN
afraid thére’s no way out.” He hesi
tated on the top of the mud stairway,
wishing he could say something to
encourage the mute figure, which
would not even look at him. The
words didn’t come, so he stamped
down the flight and gave Pete direc
tions about enough food to feed a
regiment, Heavy with a sudden re
sponsibility, he rode off. He would
talk to Abd-el Krim, Perhaps some
thing better could be arranged.
That night Rosemary and the Span
fard settled their plans. They climbed
to the same rock above the village,
and for the first time the sunset
brought no echo of closing bars to the
girl, Excited and tense, she listened
to Martengo’s instructions.
“You’d better begin wearing native
dress at once, Don’'t let Zarifa sleep
in your room, You must accustom
every one to leaving you alone after
sunset. I'll have to leave it to you to
slip out semehow, unobserved. You
must come straight to my house. Tl
leave the door ajar.”
“And then?’ asked Rosemary, dis
trust swept away on the tide of ex
citement.
“I'll have horses ready, but I don't
know if it would be safe to ride over
the pass. Do you think you could
climb it if T had the animals walting
on the other side?”
“Yes, yes,” breathed the girl, “Any
thing to get away.” She looked so
vital, so flamelike in the blaze around
her, that Martengo had difficulty in
steadying his voice,
It was a little rough as he told her:
“Wwe'll have to make a dash for it
while Westwyn's away.”
Rosemary’s mind raced ahead.
“Your servants?’ she asked, “Won't
they give us away?”
“There are none in the house,” he
answered. “Don’'t worry. If you can
give Pete the slip your part is done.”
A few nights later a blur of indigo,
scarcely more opaque than the sur
rounding night, erept round the wall
of the guest house. Rosemary’s heart
was in her throat, pounding so thut
it nearly choked her, but her feet, In
their native sandals, were steady.
With scarcely a sound she padded up
the path,
As she neared her destination the
glirl's spirits rose. Excitement tingled
In her blood. She went more care
lessly and, round a corner, almost
bumped into a figure descending si
lently In the soft leather sandals of
the mountaineers, It was Helnz, a
stolid, shy, little German who had
lent her month-old papers from the
fatherland. An exclamation was
stifled on the fugitive’s lips, and the
man stared as he stepped aside for
her to pass. Rosemary dared not
look back, but she felt that Heinz still
stood at the corner watching her,
After this encounter, the quadrangle
looming above her was sanctury. She
ran the last Hundred yards, slipped
through the unlocked door and shut-it
silently behind her. While she leaned
against the wall, breathless, a figure
stepped out of the darkness.
“Well done,” whispered Martengo.
“You're all right now.” He piloted her
into the house. There was no light
in the front room, but Juan guided his
guest Into a small back apartment
where charcoal smoldered on an open
hearth and a hurricane lamp hung
from the roof,
Rosemary dropped onto the nearest
seat, still panting, her eyes blazing in
a face bereft of color, *“I thought I
should never get out,” she said. “I
had to send Pete down to the village,
and Zarifa was as sleepless as an
owl. What’s the next move?”
“T sent the horses out as soon as it
was dark, but unfortunately, the head
man’s son, young, Mohamed el Me
nebbhe, is coming to see me tonight
about a rifle, Ile ought to be here
any moment.”
Rosemary started. “But he'll delay
us—we ought to be off.”
“He won’t keep me long, and it
isn’t a bad thing, really, because when
vour flight is discovered in the morn
ing, he will be my alibi.” They talked
in desultory fashion for a few min
utes. Then Martengo went out to
prepare for his visitor, and Rosemary
found time to study her surround
ings, : R
It was a small, mud-walled room,
with no furniture but a table, a chair,
2 row of coffee pots, and the couch on
barred, just under the ceiling. “Rath
er like a cell,” thought Rosemary, and
then her biood raced, for she heard
voices and footsteps crossing the
court. Automatically she crushed her
self into the corner furthest from the
door, hardly daring to move.
That was one of the worst hours of
the girl's life. The drone of Arable
in the next room was like a wheel on
which her nerves were spun,
Thoughts whirled through her brain
and were gone before she could catch
the full sense of them. She pictured
failure in every guise, the ignominy
of a forced return, In that hour she
had suffered every possible disap
pointment, been defeated by every
obstacle. At the end of it her head
felt taut, as if stretched on wires.
Martengo had no place in her
thoughts until, just as she felt she
must go mad if she had to wait any
longer, he entered the room. She had
been so oppressed by her myriad ap
prehensions that she had not noticed
the departure of Menebbhe,
“Has he gone?” she asked, but the
words were scarcely audible,
The Spaniard nodded, “Yes. I'm
sorry for the delay. You look a bit
played out. What about a drink?”
Before she could refuse he had pro
duced from the outer room a bottle
and two glasses, ' “I can't have you
fainting on the way,” he said, “This
will do you g00d.,” Perhaps his volce
was less carefully tutored than usual,
There was a note In It which was
like a cold douche on Rosemary's im
patience. It steadied her and she was
alert as she took the glass and put
her lips to It, The taste was un
pleasant,
“What 1s it?" she asked with a
grimace,
“Our local polson, ‘leghbl,’ It won't
do you any harm.,” His voice sounded
muffled and he seemed to be very
busy with a refractory cork,
Suspicion flashed across Rosemary's
horizon. “I'd rather have water,” she
said, “Do get me some,” and made a
pretense of drinking.
Juan left the room without com
ment and the girl whirled, the glass
fn her hand, vainly searching a recep
tacle, She had just emptied the stuff
behind the cushions when Martengo
returned. Guliltily she faced him, a
flush burning so deeply that It was
like & hand thrott!ing her,

APPETIZING DISHES
There are so many common things

When eocking green peas save the
pods and cook them for a few minutes
in just water to simmer, pour oft the
liquor and use that to cook the peas.
The flavor will be more pronounced
and the vitamine content will be iln
creased,
A teaspoonful of sugar added to al
most any roast or stew will add
flavor, color and make it more attrac
tive te the taste,
Use grapefruit for the breakfast
table sweetened with a spoonful or
two of honey or maple sirup.
Tongue and Spinach Salad. — Mix
two cupfuls of cooked spinach, one
cupful of diced cold boiled tengue,
one-half of a cupful of celery, salt

BATTLE NEEDED
FOR NEW INSECT
One attack a year will dispose of
most insect pests, but not the oriental
peach moth, Fall, early spring and
summer battles are necessary to com:
bat the oriental peach moth, entomolo
gists at the Ohio State university say
on the basis of experiments in New
Jersey, Maryland and Penusyl\'zmia.'
Brought into this country fifteen ‘or
twenty years ago, the insect bvcunje
established first in the District of Co
lumbia, Maryland and Virginia, -Now
it has spread north and south along
the Atlantic coast from Connecticut
to Georgia and westward to Texas and
Ohio,
The three measures necessary to
check the oriental peach moth are out
lined by Ohio entomologists as fol
lows:
1. Since many of the insécts live
over winter at or near the base of the
tree, a fall application of paradichloro
benzene as recommended for the
peach-tree borer is advisable,
. 2, Since many of the insects over
~-winter under leaves, grass, weeds and
in and on mummied fruit beneath the
tree, thorough and early spring cul
tivation before the moths have
emerged is necessary.
3. In combating the insect during
the growing season, spray of 40-per
cent nicotine at the rate of 1-800 di
lution should be used alone, or can be
added to fungicidal sprays of lime
sulphur or “dry mix.,” New Jersey rec:
ommends six applications, beginning
at the time of the shuck-split spray,
and then at two, four, seven, nine and
eleven weeks.
Lime and Legumes Build
Up Poor Orchard Soils
Illinois’ limestone and legume pro
gram for corn and other grain and
hay crops likewise is unsurpassed for
building up orchard soils, says the
[inois College of Agriculture,
~ “If the trees are set out on a site
AT TR TST GEDNLLIC RN W eTN T e b" j T
tion strips about six feet wide along
the tree rows, If apple trees are
planted forty feet apart each way and
peach trees not closer than twenty
five feet apart there will be plenty of
room between the tree rows to grow
and turn under soil building crops.
Although sweet clever stands at the
top of the list as a soil improvement
crop, soy beans, cowpeas, buckwheat
and the clovers also greatly benefit
the soil when turned under. Under
no circumstances should these crops l
be taken from a young ovchard and
stored in the barn as hay.” ‘i
Paradichlorobenzene Is |
_ Best for Peach Borers
The best results in treating peach
borers are secured by using paradi
chlorobenzene in the fall of the year,
For trees four or five years of age it
is well to use three-fourths of an
ounce per tree. For trees six
years old and older, use a full ounce
per tree. Some experiment stations
claim that trees younger than four
years are damaged by the material.
However, other authorities advise the
use of one-half ounce per tree on trees
three years old and under, In any
case, the mounds of earth should be
removed from about the trees three or
four weeks after the material Is ap:
plied. The material should be pulver.
Ized and applied In a narrow ring
around the trunk of the tree, allowing
none of it to get nearer than about
two inches to the tree,
